Nuclear School
Nuclear energy is a carbon-free power source and IT is one of the safest, cleanest and most efficient sources of energy in the world.
Isodope was created to clear misconceptions and show us why nuclear energy is essential for a future of energy abundance and without climate change.
Frequently Asked
Questions
About the emissions of mining uranium and building power plants
Unfortunately, every form of energy production has emissions associated with mining materials, building or installing. Life cycle analysis (LCA) is a method used to evaluate the environmental impact of a product throughout its whole life cycle–this includes things like extraction, processing of the materials, manufacturing and so on. A recent report by UNECE showed that nuclear power has the lowest life cycle greenhouse gas emissions of ALL energy sources!
